The 600 Series of articulating booms offered by JLG, feature an optional narrow chassis that would enable access to confined places. The 600 Series features the industry's best work envelope; a horizontal outreach of 39 feet, 9 inches or 12.12 m and 8.1 m or 26 feet, 7 inches up and over height. These equipment provide dual rated capacities of 500 pounds and 1000 pounds too. Along with a 60 foot platform height, these models would offer you with the reach capacity and the strength you need no matter what job needs to be completed.
The optional 4-wheel drive and standard oscillating axle give you exceptional performance and drive on rough terrain. The 3-position switch and optional 4-wheel steer offers unmatched agility in confined spaces. The platform controls are improved and have been redesigned in order to provide more controlled operation and be smoother for job site productivity.
Raising Safety Standards for Aircraft Maintenance
The Model 740AJ is the best machinery for working on any aircraft size. This unit offers 22.6 m or 74 feet of height and more than fifteen m or 51 feet of outreach. It has numerous safety features which you need when performing maintenance. The Fall Arrest platform could be included in order to enable you to exit the platform and move a complete 270 degrees around the platform in a radius of 6 feet, and continue to have fall protection while doing so.
The Soft Touch System is a different feature option that would help to lessen any damage to the equipment or risk of any accidental contact during aircraft maintenance. This optional package offers a suspended padded rail that surrounds the platform basket. There are proximity sensors which de-activate platform movement functions and the operator is alerted if the basket comes too close to the aircraft surface.
Advantages
The articulating jib would enable the operator better access and positioning to all external surfaces on any aircraft. This type of jib can be utilized in both uncontrolled and controlled places because of steady winds, jet blast standards of 80 mph and 90 mph gusts. An optional on-board air compressor allows for pneumatic-powered hand tools to be utilized. When performing maintenance outside of the platform, the Fall Arrest adds safety.
JLG has made many of these feature options in order to make the operator as safe as possible and to improve overall efficiency of the equipment.
